Abstract:
The association of anxiety with epilepsy has been noted for centuries. Anxiety can occur at different phases of a seizure event and present with diverse clinical symptoms similar to those seen in panic, obsessive-compulsive, or generalized anxiety disorders. Pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments of anxiety in the context of epilepsy are discussed.
